Kate Grace to Train in Portland After Two Years with NorCal Distance Project in Sacramento

By Adam Kopet

It was announced Monday in a NorCal Distance Project press release that 2016 Olympian Kate Grace is leaving the training group.

Grace has spent the past two years in Sacramento training under Drew Wartenburg. During her time with the program, she set personal bests at 800, 1,500 and 3,000 meters, in addition to qualifying for the Olympic team in the 800 in 2016 and for the World Championships team in the 1,500 this year.

Prior to Grace's time in Sacramento, she trained with the New Jersey New York Track Club and Oiselle's Project Little Wing. At the start of 2017, she switched from Oiselle sponsorship to Nike.

Grace will be moving to Portland this fall to begin the next chapter in her career. She has yet to indicate what training group she might join.
